This seminar was presented to academics in the Department of Creative Arts & English (CAE) at La Trobe University to outline how to take advantage of open access publishing opportunities to increase the reach of you research and teaching works. It covered the underlying principles, with specific examples to the CAE context. We’ll also introduce the support available at La Trobe, in particular: eBureau, the La Trobe'’s open education resource publishing house and OPAL, our open repository for ERA-eligible works, collections, and portfolios.
